The town of Miserable was just like any other small town. Cabin like houses, every 15th day it rained strawberry milk or blood, fields, forests, a holiday for town hero Herbert Tenley (who died during a political protest he executed by trying to eat 15 pumpkins in a row, but died before the sixth), nice little parks...
Edith liked many things: those curious straycats, cheap tea and the ghost of her dog - Victor Barksbowow. She understood Swedish and animals. That is why she knew that Henry Samuel Morley's cat didn't like having nine lives and actually was alarmingly alcoholic and suicidal. Henry Samuel Morley wished he could too speak with his cats, but he didn't have any special talents. He could only name 35 different butterflies, see ghosts, remember 268 decimals of Pi and turn partially invisible.
Even though hating to go outside and talking with people, Henry Samuel Morley did end up going on an adventure with Edith to save Miserable and stop Sinclair Fox and a satanic student from destroying the town with red wine, killing boogeymans and leaving tiger lilies everywhere.

Mostly Ghostly | Isaac Lahey ¹✓
"Sorry, Lahey, but I'm more of a cat person." Vera Pérez is no stranger to the supernatural. Growing up alongside the Hale family has kept her fairly well-informed about the creatures that lurk in the darkness. However, she didn't become one of those nighttime horrors until the end of her sophomore year- Derek had no choice but to turn her so she wouldn't die from her wounds after a kanima attack. The thing is, she didn't gain his fangs and claws. They say that the bite turns you into the shape of your character. Vera still isn't sure what to make of becoming some sort of glorified ghost. But with a pack of Alphas knocking on Derek's door and people disappearing left and right only to show up dead days later, she barely has time to think about anything else. It wouldn't be so terrible if it weren't for four specific facts: 1. The Alpha leader killed her father and may or may not be coming to finish her off. 2. Nobody seems to be safe from the mass murders in the town. 3. She has to spend more time than usual with Isaac Lahey, with whom she shares a mutual disliking. 4. Isaac pushes her buttons, but soon she starts to realize that she likes it. ©𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 2019 𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐥𝐟 | 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝟑 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐚𝐜 𝐥𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐱 𝐨𝐜 𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐍 𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐒 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 WINNER OF 2024 ARMAGEDDON FANFIC AWARDS FOR "BEST ISAAC LAHEY FANFIC"Complete
Vulpecula ✔️
*Vulpecula - is a faint constellation in the northern sky. It's name is Latin for "little fox", although it is simply known as the fox.* The evil is rising. The saviour is born. The army has been preparing. And the war is inevitable. But amongst all the things, she also has to deal with her personal life. Her love life. And he is another story. He is rude, cold, arrogant and he knows that he does not deserve her. He is not a bad boy, but not a good boy either. He has tattoos, he has a massive ego and he also has very less words to say. She finds herself in a constant dilemma when it comes to him. And he knows what he does to her. He knows how infuriating he is. But he still wants her, craves her. She fights the attraction but for how long will she do that? How long can she hold her emotions in check before it all suffocates her? How long will she suffer? And when will the war end? How will she kill the greater evil? Or will she even reach close enough? Will she perish and give up on her journey to freedom? This is the story of a battle between the creatures that were long dead and the supernatural. This is the story of a twisted romance. This is the story of accepting oneself. This is her story.Complete
Hell Hall
High School. A virtual hell to every pimple covered, greasy haired, knowledge loving kid who walks the halls of the institution. Only a very proud few manage to rise among the ranks to become "the cool kids," snagging the lucky fate of living the best years of their lives up through the twelfth grade. We'll just not tell them what happens after they graduate. In ten years, when the kid the football team swirlied is their boss, they'll realize that it probably would have been better to not be cool when they were teens. But that doesn't matter now. Why you ask? I'll tell you. My name is Bridge, which isn't short for Bridgette, if you were wondering. My parents were assholes when they were younger, I guess. It could have been worse; at least I'm not a piece of fruit or an airline. Unique names can kiss my little undead butt. Oh yeah, that. I'm also dead. No need to apologize—it's not your fault, unless you're the pile of crap who murdered me. If so, could you fill me in on what happened? I'd really like to know how my life ended. The last thing I remember is going out for a milkshake and then, poof! I was here. Where is here, you ask? If you ask any of the adults, it's Harrison's Preparatory Institution for the Gifted and Unknown. If you ask any of the students, it's Hell Hall. That's right, bitches; high school is now back in session.Complete

Bring Me To Life
I'm Autumn Scarlet, a hybrid (half human) vampire. I killed the man I loved with one bite. That was my past and I escaped it by moving to London. It's now 1 year later. Adam, another hybrid vampire warned me that I'm in a list, called the Top Ten, and I'm being hunted by a group of people -or you could say demons- called Phantom. In order to destroy Phantom, I have to find the rest of the Top Ten and we have to team up. Phantom sends all sorts of monsters, creatures and demons after us. What they don't know is that the Top Ten includes all kinds of people like snow ghosts, werewolves and we all have supernatural powers. Some of us can manipulate time, use our beauty against others, control light, darkness and weather, shape shift and read minds, that's not all. I told myself that I will never fall in love again due to my past but what will happen when I do find love, will he bring me to life? PG 13+ Has violence and a (kind of) sex scene.

Wild Witches
The year is 1914, the border between magical creatures and the humans is clearly defined. But unknown to many minds, the ministry of magic has another thorn in their flesh, the so-called wild witches. Descendants of old blood lines, believers in ancient rituals, never frightened in the dark woods, because deep within the forest the most terrifying thing was a wild witch with a wicked filled mind. Many wizards believed that they were part of cults, giving the devils their souls and slaughtering animals and muggles for sacrifices. Lucky for them, those transferences weren't all too real. Wild witches weren't burned anymore in Salem, they didn't sacrifice a life just to satisfy the needs of ambiguous gods and devils, they weren't evil. Not unless you awakened their rage... However, when influential men started growing their fear of peaceful witches, the burden of certain consequences would follow. 1914 the Ministry of Magic decided to enforce the rule that all witches and wizards must go to schools and can no longer be taught at home, like wild witches were. The young witch Y/n needs now to face the first school she's ever seen, not knowing that by the end of the school year her life would be changed forever... ~Be the witch you were born to be, wild and free.~ I actually post this rather short story on my tumblr, but decided then to post it here as well.Complete
